I grew up thinking there was only one acceptable pie for Thanksgiving. Pecan. Pecan. And then more pecan. In my defense I grew up in another country. Which explains how I had never tried any other type.

No, really. Two years ago I had my very first taste of pumpkin pie. Mmm pumpkin pie.

And apparently some people deem apple pie to be entirely acceptable Thanksgiving fare.

So now I am torn. Pumpkin? Pecan? Apple?

Would it be wrong to have all three?

Which is your Thanksgiving Pie of choice?

If you are planning a birthday party for your little ones, try making these fun treats as a twist on classic party fare. Fill ice cream cones with your favorite brownie mix, then bake them propped up in a cupcake tin as directed on the packaging.

You might want to keep an eye on them so they don’t get too crisp (use the good old toothpick in the center test to determine when they are done), but for the most part they come out delicious, ooey-gooey and ready to surprise your guests. Top them off with icing and a festive umbrella, and you’ve got a real treat for your next birthday bash!

For a little extra fun, serve a scoop of ice cream in cupcake tins alongside these brownie ice cream cones for a topsy turvey birthday that’s sure to please!
